Mini Style

I love shopping. Most gals do.
When Scarlett was born, my love for shopping kept on growing. Now I had two to shop for.
Scarlett's style is as eclectic as mine. I tend to wear whatever my mood draws me to.
I don't have a particular style and this happens to be how I dress Scarlett, as well. Usually, Scarlett ends up wearing
an outfit that reflects mine well. Or vice-versa.

I generally don't spend a lot of money on Scarlett's clothes. Sometimes I splurge on a few items that she can use often. But the majority of the clothing that I buy for Scarlett, is inexpensive. I try to find pieces that Scarlett can wear over and over again. For example, Scarlett's Minnetonka's were a bit pricey, but she can wear her moccasins through all four seasons. Mixing and matching also helps save money on buying more than necessary. Sometimes, I put leggings under a dress so Scarlett can wear a dress in colder weather, too. Or leggings under shorts. Style for mini gals doesn't have to be expensive, it's all about deciding what pieces you should splurge on and what items you should save on. I can almost always find a great outfit at a second-hand store for both me and my mini babe. I tend to splurge on shoes and layering basics. I tend to save on items that I know she will only wear a few times (summer clothes that won't fit her next summer). Style to me is important because it reflects personality. Once Scarlett is old enough to choose her own clothes, she can make those decisions. Until then, I'm more than happy to coordinate her outfits for her.

These are just the more adorable photos ever. I love dressing both my kids in various styles as well.Visiting from Monday Mingle.Daphne.http://fashiondivamommy.blogspot.com/2012/10/who-is-wearing-kika.html
